“Never in our 30-year history have we been this one-sided (9 to 1) on a wager,” he said. “You would have to go back to the early Mike Tyson fights (pre-Buster Douglas) to find a wager with comparable one-sided demand.”

Lester explained that no matter how much he adjusted the odds, hardly anybody seemed interested in taking the under.

“We knew the President would be prone to exaggeration to support his need for Democratic support to fund his wall,” Lester said. “However, we hoped the 8-minute time constraint coupled with the unlikelihood of the President going off-script would keep the total number of false statements low.”

I wonder what they used to define a lie? The WaPo fact checker only had 3 provable lies:

- every day Border Patrol agents encounter thousands of illegals (actual number is closer to 986 per day, and not all of them are illegals).
- every week, 300 citizens are killed by heroin (actual number closer to 288).
- Democrats requested that Trump change the wall from concrete to steel (no Democrat is on record saying that).
